About the trip

This small-group tour by G Adventures threads through a variety of Portugal’s mainland highlights, beginning in Porto. Here, a private visit to Livraria Lello offers a glimpse of an unusual gothic bookshop interior — a place that has inspired literary imaginations. Next, the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley invite a hands-on cooking class at a quinta and a river cruise from Régua to Pinhão, letting the landscape settle in.

The journey continues to cities rich with history and culture. Tomar’s seat of the Knights Templar impresses with its medieval architecture, while Lisbon provides diverse experiences, from the melancholic strains of Fado music paired with dinner, to visits to Jerónimos Monastery and the Maritime Museum. Sintra’s colourful Pena Palace and the mysterious Quinta da Regaleira round off the collection of sites, each known for their distinct character.

This is an escorted holiday with a focus on cultural depth and local flavour, led by a National Geographic Expedition Leader and expert guides. The pace allows for engagement with both scenery and heritage. Included moments range from tuk tuk tours in Porto to a meal at Mezze, a Lisbon social enterprise, encouraging reflection on contemporary social issues alongside history and gastronomy.
